AMW Reviews: EOS Sweet Mint LIp Balm

EOS - Evolution of Smooth

The name itself says it all! I've seen various beauty bloggers raving about the said spherical-cased lip balm! I've been wanting one myself but I swore myself not to do much international online shopping because it takes forever an a day before it reaches me!

Thanks to my dearest Shobe Sophie for giving me one to try! And she knows me too well because she gave me the flavor I would choose in a blink of the eye --- MINT!

After a week of using this on a daily basis, I will give my initial review as I have been applying and re-applying this on my lips for "God can't even remember!" :P

Here's how the inside looks!

EOS Lip Balm says ---

Can a lip balm make you smile? We think so. That's why we invented this one.

I do not need to blot my lip balm before lipstick application as this one isn't waxy so lipsticks do not glide off.

The minty feel of Sweet Mint lasts for more than 10 minutes!

With its wider shape, its easy to apply also on the corners of my mouth and outside the lip area which usually dries up easily on me.

Cons

Not super moisturizing as expected.

Not widely available in local market.

The lines on my lips did not disappear or at least lessen its appearance.

I was told that not all the scent are a hit! It really depends on your personal preference.

Once you lick your lips, you can literally taste a very sweet, sugar-like substance.

Overall

The texture of EOS Sweet Mint Lip Balm is almost the same as my favorite Mentholatum Lip Ice in Lemon minus the waxy feel! This is going up the notch as my favorite lip balm because of the fact that its Organic and Paraben-free!

Tips

Read ingredients list and expiration date before you peel off the wrap! All the writings will be gone!

Slowly twist the cap to prevent ruining the cute lip balm!

Apply this on clean and dry lips!

As much as possible, wipe the top part of the balm with a clean tissue at least once a day.

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone who likes lip balm application.

Where to purchase and how much?
Search local resellers via Multiply. Price between Php300.00-450.00 (approx $7.00-$10.00).

Here's the size of EOS Lip BalmA bit bulky for a lip balm but I like how I can easily grab this inside my bag!

Have you tried this famous lip balm?
How do you like it?
I personally think there are better lip balms out there BUT
because of its smart packaging, gorgeous Sweet Mint scent, I can't stop re-applying!
*re-applies* Seriously, I just did!Keep smilin'Stay happy!

i've been reading a lot of good reviews on this lip balm too and it made me curious. but i don't like it if it is not available locally because i wanna try it first before buying. thanks for the review :)

I was waiting for someone to compare this to Mentholatum--of course, it would be you! LipIce Fruity is my HG also and I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend on EOS if I could get at least two LipIce for the price, haha. I think I will just have to check this out in person :)

Am I the only one who hasn't tried EOS? I'm really happy with Mentholatum Lip Ice in Lemon for a regular untinted lip balm. But I must admit that I have always thought of the egg-shaped packaging cute. :)

i'm actually running out of my lipice lemon.. but i think ill still get that one.. :) you started my addiction with that.. then maybe when i'm curious enough with EOS, i might get one.. and yes, i think ill have the mint too.
